wireless tv antenna

[gamerman]

hi
i need to make a wireless tv antenna..there is a hill in front of my house but theres also a road and train track in front of my house ( i can't run any cables from the antenna to the tv ) so if i can make some kind of wireless tv antenna to send the signal to my tv i can put a antenna on top of this hill and get all the local channels..any ideas??
thanks terry

What you are looking for is a TV repeater. However, there may be legal and licence restrictions regarding setting one up and its quite an overkill for one receiver
What might also work is something I have seen on my travels. The houses were down a deep valley and had no chance to fit tall enough antennas to receive TV. What they did was to erect a large reflector on the hill to bounce the signal down the valley. It was just a large flat metal panel on a frame, as big as a bill board, that was angled like a mirror to reflect the signal.

Would it possible to convert the signal from the antennae to light signal...maybe to a IR light or laser and aim it at a reciever on the house and decode to the TV?

probably possible but not very practical. You will get alot of noise and blackouts. About how far away is the place you want to set up the device from your house?

it's about 500 or 600 feet ..maybe i can run cable from the antenna to the bottom of the hill then put some kind of transmitter to send the signal to the house

Connect together two equal antenne, this configuration also can transmit the signal.
